Gender difference in the risk for cardiovascular events or mortality of patients with diabetic foot syndrome

Baseline co-presence of DFS, however, conferred a similar adjusted risk for all these outcomes between genders, and in case of non-vascular DFS the risk was significantly increased only among females.
